The GPU company that provided the GPU to render the assets also deserves a cut, don’t you think?

      Most. Certainly the USA… Add up all personal taxes paid for income from city to county to state to federal. Don’t forget to add FICA - Medicare, social security (and the self employed additional amount), and any extras that may apply.

      Quick math… A developer in CA bringing in 250k/yr (gross) is hitting the 35% fed bracket. Total effective tax just to the fed is almost 23%. State tax same shit effective tax rate is about 8%. City tax may apply, adding 1% or so. OASDI is 6.2%. Medicare adds 1.45%. But self employed so double those. And oops, you make too much so 0.9% Medicare additional tax… Add all that and it’s over 46%.

        There’s a roughly $100,000 deduction for nonresident personal income tax and depending on the country, they can also subtract taxes paid on that money in their home country.
